“Alan” Ashley tapped him but he was a little absent-minded.“Bryer” He whispered while Ashley moved back a little.“Alan, long time” She smiled wickedly.“Dan, say hello to your daddy” She gestured to the little boy, and that was when they both glanced at the little boy who was the exact copy of Alan.“Daddy” The little boy ran towards him hugging his legs and making him move back a little causing the child to almost fall but Ashley held him.“Pretty aunty,” He said sweetly, bringing a smile to Ashley's face. His kind gesture melted her heart even though she was supposed to be angry.“What's the meaning of this?” He asked Bryer sternly.“I can't keep on training him alone when he has a father, we should get married and train him together” She eyed Ashley before facing Alan.“Where did you pick him from? after how many years you decide to come back.

Alan woke up quite early as he sat up on the bed, he glanced at Ashley’s sleeping figure, replaying all that transpired between both of them and how he left her to go and sleep.Pushing the strands of hair that had fallen over her face behind her ear, he murmured an apology before heading to the bathroom.“Good morning” Alan greeted Ashley as he walked into the room with a tray of food.“Good morning” She greeted back.“I brought breakfast for us” He informed placing the tray on the center table beside the couch.“Carry on, I am not hungry” She responded and walked into the bathroom.“You are not eating?” Ashley asked as she walked back into the room all dressed up.“I won't eat without you” Alan reminded her.“Ohh really? Last night you slept off without me. How about that?” She asked him, folding her arms together.“Baby, I am sorry.
